Biden has proposed measures to restrict home built firearms. I personally find this concerning, as the ability to produce firearms would be a boon to any communist militia or similar group. Yes, I know there are other ways to produce firearms and with enough people and money, an organized militia could do it legally even if such a ban passes by getting a license to manufacture firearms, or by forging receivers themselves.
All that being said, the ban seems like a nothingburger: the proposed restrictions, as far as I know, would only ban "build and shoot" kits that come with all the parts needed. Pawn shops and gun stores would also be required to serialize unserialized guns that are sold to them. So basically there is not going to be an outright ban on 80% receivers, you would just have to buy the parts separately. Thoughts?
>>1678hello Agent Kochinski
>>1676I've bought parts separately before. The part kits referred to in the bill are ones that include the 80% lower, not just miscellaneous parts kits. For example, I bought an 80% lower and a jig, then the upper receiver and barrel, then a small parts kit, then a buffer tube and spring. It was actually cheaper than buying a complete build kit, and would still, to my knowledge, be legal with the proposed reforms.
